Merge conflicts

Happens when working on a team project when two/more developers have edited the same file.
Therefore, face the conflict courageously.

Assumption: current_branch(local branch) conflicts with a base branch called base-branch

Solving a merge conflict by rebasing

  1. git pull origin --rebase develop. If merge conflicts persist:
  2. Fix merge conflicts by accepting either current changes, incoming changes or Accept both changes
  3. git add . all the changes that you have made.
  4. git rebase --continue to continue fixing merge conflicts.
  5. If merge conflict persists, repeat steps 2 to 4.
  6. If merge conflict is fixed then git push -f current_branch.
